The story of the collab'
Arnaud Sol-Dourdin
Arnaud wanted to realize a dream, that of creating from scratch his signature products, the pastel filter and the healthy glow palette, by partnering with an expert and committed French makeup brand.
Originally from Normandy, it was only natural that Arnaud contacted us. It took a lunch followed by a star makeup done by Arnaud on Marjorie and Marilou, and the desire to work together emerged as a matter of course.
It took no less than two years of development and dedication for the first new product to see the light of day in October 2023. Our high standards, coupled with Arnaud's determination, put our laboratory to the test. No compromises were to be made.
Given our customers' incredible enthusiasm, it seemed obvious to us that this adventure couldn't stop there. And it was perfect timing, because Arnaud, driven by his passion for innovation, already had a second treasure in mind: the healthy glow palette, inspired by revolutionary pastel filter technology. This little beauty gem, designed to brighten the complexion and reveal natural radiance, is finally available this Wednesday, September 11.

2️⃣ Next, warm up your complexion with bronzer. Apply it to the top of your forehead in circular motions, then move down to your temples. You can also apply it to the sides of your nose for a more refined effect.
3️⃣ Add a touch of freshness with blush, applied directly to your cheekbones for a guaranteed healthy glow!
4️⃣ To finish, highlight the points of light with the highlighter: apply it to the temples, the bridge of the nose, the tips of the eyebrows and the Cupid's bow.
Finally, for a flawless result, apply your pastel filter on top to blend all the textures harmoniously together. Here's to the perfect complexion! 😍
ps: be careful to use the brushes developed exclusively to optimize the application and rendering of the pastel filter and the healthy glow palette!

Soothing and revitalizing, it helps even out skin tone, leaving skin luminous and radiant.
